Generating Mental Images

Comic Life, iMovie, iPhoto, Inspiration and Kidspiration are a few resources to help students create mental images by stimulating their thinking using their senses such as the sounds, smells, tastes and visual details when they are learning new knowledge.

Kinesthetic Activities

When students use physical movement to role play processes or events it generates a mental picture of the knowledge in the mind of the learner. Using iMovie can reinforce these activities so that students are able to reinforce that mental image each time they see their movie!
